Dust Sensor
The unit has a dust sensor installed near the outdoor
air inlet. The dust sensor checks for excessive
particulates in the outdoor air, and will close the
economizer if the dust is excessive. The sensor uses a
PWM signal converted to 0-5v output to the controller.
To ensure proper performance, cleaning may be
required. Vacuuming or blowing the dust off the sensor
with forced air is recommended.
Avoid inserting any
objects into the sensor
.

Dust Sensor Failure Alarm
When the sensor reads a value that is outside of
the acceptable 0 to 100% range, an alarm will be
generated indicating the sensor has failed. This alarm
is just a notification and will not disable any other
features on the controller.
This alarm is fixed and cannot be adjusted.
High Dust Limit Alarm
When dust content in the air is high and is a risk
to prematurely reducing airflow through the filters,
the unit will restrict the use of the economizer. The
controller has adjustable software setpoints to indicate
dust levels are too high and to disable the economizer
operation for 5 minutes. Once the conditions are no
longer present, the alarm will automatically clear.
To adjust the dust sensor alarm setpoint:
1. Press MENU key to go to the Main Menu screen.
